Like most long-term beverage companies, Mission went
through a variety of names and locations. The first products
were offered by California Crushed Fruit from Los Angeles. After
the initial success of Mission Orange in the beverage market, the
Mission Dry Corporation was formed and then later became Mission of
California, Incorporated of New Haven, Connecticut by the 1950s.

Mission Dry Orange was originally bottled in unique
black bottles, as can be seen in the example above. Later clear ACL
bottles with white lettering, sometimes with a black background, took
the place of the black bottle.

Mission also bottled flavors, in the ACL bottles, with
the cap identifying the flavor inside.
